Would I rather be feared or loved? Um... Easy, both. I want people to be afraid of how much they lov

About Me

I am loud and tend to get much louder when drinking. Hobbies include spending time at dive bars, schemes, being the only girl and not sleeping well. You can always get me with a good movie, a bottle of champagne, or being liberal.

My Interests

Teaching, reading, watching judge judy (don't ask why I just love her), not having babies, not making it home after drinking, gossiping with the teachers (they talk more shit than you would guess), worshiping elton john, watching documentaries, and text messaging everyone i know

I'd like to meet:

These are my drunk camera pictures from my favorite night of the year... Aaron the drunkest I have ever seen him, Jose doing his best impression of Christopher Walken playing carnie games, and other drunken friends.

Music:

i am not a music snob like 99.9% of my friends so i listen to what ever the hell i want with a couple of exceptions. these are: COUNTRY and GOSPEL. both of these types of music make me want to shove things in to both my eyes and ears. Other than that my tastes range from Elton John, Coldplay, Kanye West, Old 97's, Walt (that one is for my homies Zack and Allan), and here recently i have been known to through New Kids on the Block listening parties (don't be upset you weren't invited i promise you will be next time). So back off music snobs because i would hate to bring up the fact that you all secretly love Journey and think that 50 cent is hot.

Movies:

I Heart Huckabees,The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, Chasing Amy, Lost in Translation, fight club, Bowling for Columbine, Office Space, Best in Show, Waiting for Guffman, Stevie, Old School, anything by Wes Anderson, The Good Girl, Control room, Metallica: Some kind of monster, In America, Napoleon Dynamite, Comedian, Eternal Sunshine, Adaptation, The Royal Tenenbaums, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Election, Storytelling, Happiness, Welcome to the Dollhouse, and a million others

Television:

Big Love, Weeds, Penn and Teller Bullshit, King of the Hill, The Soup, The simpsons, The Sopranos, The Dave Chappelle Show, Reno 911, Conan O'Brian, curb your enthusiasm, america's funniest homevideos, the office both bbc and nbc, project runway, cartoons of all kinds, Arrested Development, Six feet under, 80's TV, and lots of others

Guns Germs and Steel, Savage Inequalites, Lies my history teacher taught me, The Sandman Series, Lovely Bones, The Poison Wood Bible, How to be Good, A room of one's own, In search of Respect, white teacher, she's come undone, The way we never were, anything by Elizabeth Wurtzel, anything by Nick Hornby, Sandra Cisneros, most of Flaulkner, and my newest favorite Sarah Vowell. The truth is that i love reading and i will try to read almost anything that someone tells me they really liked. One of my life goals is to teach little kids about the joy of reading. So if you have any good childrens' book suggestions let me know.
